The old looks adds manliness to it, so it's not a problem, I'd recommend to still give it a nice polish, and when finished it will look fantastic.

When I started out, I've got myself a FEATHER Artist Club SS Straight Razor basing myself on this article about
good quality straight razors, because I love the classy old looking straight razors. Right now I want to add one more to my collection, because you can't have many, right?
